Why You Need a Local Conveyancing Solicitor

As a first time or experienced homebuyer, the services a local conveyancing solicitor can provide you with can make a world of difference to your homebuying experience. Buying a home is an exciting time for anyone, but you need to make sure the process goes smoothly. At Andrew Lee & Co Property Lawyers in Maidstone, we provide reliable property conveyancing services to protect your best interests, help you navigate the homebuying process, and ensure you understand your obligations as a homebuyer and the options available to you.

What We Do

Before you begin searching for a local conveyancer, it’s important to first understand what it is that a conveyancing solicitor does. Along with providing legal advice on the homebuying process and helping homebuyers navigate it, a conveyancer handles all contracts involved in the purchase of a property, deals with the Land Registry and carries out local council searches. They also provide expert advice and manage the transfer of the funds to pay for the purchase of your new property. With the availability of digital technology most formalities can now be managed online, but it is still beneficial for homebuyers to source a conveyancing solicitor locally to meet face-to-face with.

Experience

With so many factors to consider as a homebuyer, it’s often the case that something important is overlooked or misinterpreted. In addition to helping you understand the property purchase contract, a complex document filled with legal jargon, a locally-based conveyancer can assist you in navigating the financial side of buying a home. We take the time to get to know our clients, their financial limits and lifestyle requirements to help them better understand their loan contract and secure a home within their budget that suits their needs.

Security

Due to the large sums of money involved in purchasing a property, fraudsters are using ever-more sophisticated tactics to intercept communications and divert transfers to different bank accounts. By working with a local conveyancer and meeting face-to-face, homebuyers are better able to avoid fraudsters, cyber criminals and protect their finances and personal information while exchanging important personal/financial details and transferring funds.

Local Knowledge

A comprehensive knowledge of the local area is vital as it aids the accuracy of the conveyancing work carried out and can also expedite the process. For example, when it’s necessary to obtain evidence of the land title from a Land Registry and carry out local searches, the conveyancer will have a solid understanding of the locale and any potential issues which could arise. It also helps to work with a local conveyancer as it makes their services more accessible, saving homebuyers time.
